Review by Timna

"I am thrilled to have started lessons with Jean-Luc. He is very patient and welcomes any and all questions that I have for him. I love the fact that he ge

ntly corrects my pronunciation without making me feel bad. He is an excellent instructor and I cannot wait to take additional lessons with him. The hour just flew by. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to start or continue with French."

Great teacher.

Mary Beth Y. December 22, 2016·Cello·In studio

I am continuing to study cello with Jamie and I am much further along than I anticipated. I also study piano, so I am not a traditional beginner cello student. Jaime is able to fine tune my lessons to take this into account and build on it. He is very knowledgeable about proper technique as well as music theory. I would recommend him without reservation for all abilities and ages.

Maureen January 30, 2016·Cello·In studio

Jamie worked with me when I was trying to pick up cello after not playing since high school. He is extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. He's very good at identifying problems with technique and suggesting approaches to fix them, and fun to work with.

About Alex S.

About Alex

A bit about me; I am from the Philadelphia area and went to college in Pittsburgh at Duquesne University graduating with a double major in Logistics & International Business plus a minor in Spanish. I have spent a summer in both Peru and Argentina to better my understanding of the language. Learning a language can be a full time job, and any chance I can get, I seize the opportunity to practice with natives.

About Ryan M.

About Ryan

My lessons are laid back, fun, and practical. You develop the goals you want to achieve by pursuing a subject, and we tackle it and go after them together.

English as a foreign language and beginner to intermediate German are my specialties. I love English and I love language. I studied German at the University of Michigan and understand the difficulties that can come with learning or improving language skills. I lived in Germany two times, once for six months and again for a year, and spent a couple months living in Peru. These experiences taught me that learning a language is best done in two ways: with native speakers, and with full immersion. This is the philosophy I bring to my lessons.

As for US history, if you're interested in learning a lot of things they didn't teach you in school then I'm your guy. Areas that are especia

lly fun for me: Colonial history, Imperial Crisis & American Revolution, the Blundering Generation and the Civil War they caused, and the Second World War.

If you are interested in hearing more about my lessons and teaching philosophy, just drop me a line.

I am very excited to go on this journey with you!!
